Gigantic tournament of Carlos Alcaraz at the US Open 2025. The Murcian dominated from start to finish in all the matches he participated in and surprised by decisively defeating Jannik Sinner in the grand final (6-2 3-6 6-1 6-4). He regains the number one spot in the ATP rankings and continues to break records at only 22 years old. He aims for the top in 2026, but first, he has to settle 2025, where he still has commitments like the Davis Cup.
The journey of Carlos Alcaraz at the US Open 2025 was perfect. The Spaniard ruthlessly defeated all his opponents, starting with the dangerous Reilly Opelka in the first round and continuing with Mattia Bellucci, Luciano Darderi, Arthur Rinderknech, and Jiri Lehecka in the following rounds. In the semifinals, he faced a Novak Djokovic who could only play catch-up throughout the match, and in the final, he brutally dominated the then world number one, Jannik Sinner. Alcaraz spoke at a press conference to analyze his tournament.

- Feeling after the match
"Honestly, it's incredible for me. This is what I work for and put effort into every match, to experience moments like this of winning another Grand Slam. You have to realize how difficult it is, you have to stop and enjoy the moment because this is very challenging."
- Number 1 and the 'maturity' Grand Slam
"Becoming number one was a goal for me at the start of the year, seeing that I have achieved it is amazing. It has been two spectacular weeks and a very high level of tennis that I am very proud of. This US Open was probably my maturity's test. In 2022, I was almost physically pushed to the limit, slowly I am maturing, and I am increasingly able to deal with everything. I think 2022 was the year of youth and this one is the year of maturity."
- Future changes for Sinner
"In the end, I think it's about improving. You talk with your team and make changes in training, and I think he will be different next time we play. I don't feel like the ball is in his court now; I have to work on seeing what he will improve next time, and I will try to anticipate and think about how he will try to beat me, from there, trying to improve. This rivalry is beautiful because we both push each other to the limit and make each other better both on and off the court."
- Is Alcaraz at his prime?
"I think I am in my best version in my career so far, not yet at 100% of my level, I am working to get there. At 22 years old, having the best version of my career, I think it's challenging, I will continue to improve little by little to try to reach that 100%. The best Carlos is yet to come."
